TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD
GONNA TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME
I'VE MADE MY RESOLUTION
I'VE OPENED UP MY EYES
TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD

I'M GONNA SAY HELLO TO MY NEIGHBOR
GREET HIM WITH A SMILE
SHAKE THE HAND OF A STRANGER
SIT AND TALK FOR A WHILE
TELL SOMEONE I LOVE THEM
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD

(REPEAT CHORUS)

GONNA MAKE SURE MY CHILDREN
KNOW THERE'S A RIGHT AND WRONG
I'LL NEVER TURN MY BACK
ON THOSE OF US WHO NEED SOMEONE
I'M GONNA TRY TO SEE MYSELF
THROUGH ANOTHER'S EYES
TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD

(REPEAT CHORUS)

TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD
TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD
NOT FOR ME, BUT FOR THOSE I'LL LEAVE BEHIND
I'VE MADE MY RESOLUTION
CHANGE IT ONE DAY AT TIME
TODAY I'M GONNA TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD

This morning started of as another ordinary day with mommy taking me and Ayla outside to potty and then giving us our breakfast. After mommy feed us she put a pot of coffee on and turn on her laptop. Like I said, just an ordinary day....nothing unusual. Anyway, the first thing we do when we log onto the computer is visit the Tiny Paws and Furiends group. There it was....the very first message....."CAPTAIN TOBY IS DOGSTER'S DOG OF THE DAY." WOW! I couldn't believe my eyes! I went to Dogster's main page and sure enough I was Dogster's pick for DOTD!! What a honor!!

I would like to thank Dogster for picking me and for giving me this great honor! I would also like to thank all my furiend for the congratulations, pmails, rosettes and special gifts. This has been a special day for me because of you. Wuff you all!! xoxo

I have been tagged by two of my furiends ....Honey and Little Foot so I'll tell you 7 things about myself. Then I will tag 7 of my other furiends!

1. I just had my 7th birthday on February 23th.
2. I love to cuddle with mommy and daddy on the couch.
3. I have my own bed but I sleep with my mommy and daddy in their big comfy bed.
4. I am not allowed to have much in the way of people food but mommy gives me cheese and carrots!
5. Even though I am 7 years old I still play like a puppy.
6. I have a beautiful girlfriend here on dogster. Her name is Roxy.
7. A lot of pups know me as Captain Toby here on dogster because I am the Captain of the Tiny Paws and Furiends Cruise Ship. BOL

I have been celebrating my seventh birthday for the past two days!! YES...FOR TWO DAYS!! It started yesterday with a surprise birthday pawty given by the Tiny Paws and Fruiends administrators. WOW! What a SURPRISE that was!! I was so overwhelmed with the kindness of everyfur. So many pups dropped by to help me celebrate. What a special day!!

Then today I woke up to my mommy singing me Happy Birthday!! This evening we had a family birthday pawty with cake and lots of birthday tummy rubs. It was so much fun digging in the gift bags with the pretty tissue paper to find the presents inside! Mommy and daddy gave me a toy squirrel and two packages of my favourite treats!

My furiends here on dogster made my day so very special. I couldn’t believe how many rosettes, stars, diamonds, special gifts and birthday pmails that I received. My girlfriend (Roxy) and her brother ( Buzzy) gave me a new fleece coat, a doggie scarf, a blinking bone collar charm, a toy cow, toy snake and a beautiful birthday card. How sweet is that!! My furiends Max and Pistol Pete gave me 30 zealies. Look out everyfur....Toby has some extra dogster money to spend!! BOL

I am so blessed to have so many great friends here on dogster to help me celebrate my special day. I want to thank each and every one of you for your friendship. You are all very special to me!! I love you all!!

"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog."

WOW! What a great birthday!!! I had a furtastic sixth birthday thanks to all my great friends here on Dogster!! My girlfriend, Roxy, and my good friends, Holly, Buzzy and Raja planned a SURPRISE birthday pawty! Can you believe it…. just for me! All my friends came to help celebrate my special day. It was pawsome and I had a great time!

My girlfriend, Roxy and her brother, Buzzy sent me two squeaky toys, a hamburger and a newspaper. Oh boy didn’t I have fun with those. BOL They also sent me a really nice terry cloth robe that is really comfy. Now I have my very own robe to wear to all of the Tiny Paws Spa Pawties. I received lots of rosettes and special gifts on my page from all of my good friends. Everyone here on dogster made me feel very special.

Then I had cake and opened gifts with my pawrents. They gave me a Kong bone and a Kong ball that squeaks, a new hat and these roasted chicken treats…YUMMY!!

I would like to thank everyone who made my sixth birthday extra special. My dogster friends are the BEST and I love you all.

Well, I was tagged by Sassy Girl and Buttercup for this Valentine Day game of tag. Here are the rules for this game of tag....

In Valentine Day Tag, you write down your five Valentine Day wishes in a diary entry, and then choose five of your pup pals, and have them write down five of their wishes, and they choose five pup pals... and so on and so on. You let your five pup pals know that they have been tagged by pmail, or rosette. Have fun and I hope all of your Valentine Day wishes come true!
